Abstract

A terminal device of an electrical apparatus includes a frame, at least one attachment piece and at least one terminal strip with a terminal screw, The frame includes at least two side walls with grooves, a bottom wall disposed between the at least two side walls and having a first recess, and a rear wall standing from the bottom wall to form a box-shaped space. The attachment piece is fitted into the box-shaped space, and has a cylinder-shaped recess and a lower surface with a projection for engaging the first recess. The terminal strip is inserted into the box-shaped space along the grooves so that the terminal screw is fitted into the cylinder-shaped recess for attaching the terminal strip to the attachment piece.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1. A terminal device of an electrical apparatus comprising:
 a frame including at least two side walls with grooves, a bottom wall disposed between the at least two side walls and having a first recess, and a rear wall standing from the bottom wall to form a box-shaped space, at least one attachment piece fitted into the box-shaped space, and having a cylinder-shaped recess and a lower surface with a projection for engaging the first recess, and at least one terminal strip with a terminal screw to be inserted into the box-shaped space along the grooves so that the terminal screw is fitted into the cylinder-shaped recess for attaching the terminal strip to the attachment piece. 
 
     
     
       2. A terminal device according to  claim 1 , wherein said attachment piece further includes a resilient claw on a back surface thereof, and said rear wall includes a second recess for engaging the resilient claw. 
     
     
       3. A terminal device according to  claim 1 , further comprising another attachment piece connected to the attachment piece with a coupling unit disposed across one of the two side walls between the another attachment piece and the attachment piece. 
     
     
       4. A terminal device according to  claim 1 , further comprising a terminal fitting having another terminal strip, said terminal fitting being able to be inserted into the box-shaped space when the at least one attachment piece is not attached to the frame.
